What it is
Glorious CORE is free software for configuring Glorious gear on Windows and macOS. It provides controls for RGB lighting, macros, keybindings, DPI sensitivity, and polling rate, and supports onboard device memory. CORE supports most Glorious products, but excludes GMMK 1 and the Model O/O- Wired (V1) and Model D/D- Wired (V1) mice. Glorious provides legacy software for those products and lists CORE V1 as a legacy download. The Windows requirement is Windows 10 or later. The macOS download requires macOS Big Sur through Sonoma and an Apple M1 or later. Glorious says its products work out of the box; CORE is recommended for full feature control and firmware updates. A Glorious ID is not needed to configure products, but is required to save profiles to the cloud. Users of 4KHz/8KHz PRO Series mice need CORE to use polling rates above 1KHz. CORE can check for updates at launch when automatic updates are enabled, and users can also check manually in settings.
